Work directly with the Treasurer and OST leadership to build a top tier state policy program focused on our state’s finances and economy, and on lowering the cost of living for working families and retirees. This includes advancing innovative, forward-thinking initiatives that boost rural and urban economies, promote sound fiscal practices to maintain our State’s financial strength, tackle systemic economic inequality, and empower the next generation to navigate an increasingly complicated financial landscape.

Successful candidates will be self-starters, motivated, creative, hardworking, and have a proven track record of working collaboratively to tackle complex policy issues. Our office touches a broad range of policy topics, from generational wealth inequality to corporate governance and transparency, affordable housing to retirement savings. This position will interface with governmental and organizational policy counterparts across Washington state; other State Treasurers' offices, nationally; our federal congressional delegation; and local and national stakeholders.

The Treasurer also serves on a range of state boards and commissions, creating additional policy analysis opportunities. The Policy Director will be tasked with identifying opportunities to develop and advance policy proposals through both the legislative arena and these boards and commissions. Experience with navigating, analyzing, and explaining state budgets is preferred.

As a Policy Director, you will collaboratively contribute to the work of the OST team that spans legislative, policy, communications, and external affairs. This is an opportunity to work on challenging and innovative policy with a team of supportive colleagues.
